It uses X-rays and powerful computer software to generate cross-sectional pictures of the soft tissues and bones inside the body, which can be used to diagnose a wide range of medical conditions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><p class=\"ffb-id-32jtis7u fg-paragraph text-center text-sm-left   fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-transform: uppercase\"><strong>How does CT work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CT uses specialised X-ray equipment and a computer to create images of the inside of your body.  Whereas a standard x-ray sends out only one beam to capture the image, in a CT scan several beams of x-ray are sent out at different angles.  This creates a much more detailed picture in two or three dimensions.  Bones, internal organs, soft tissue and the brain can all be viewed in detail through the CT scan, to help diagnose inflammation, disease and cancer, and monitor many other health conditions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><p class=\"ffb-id-3dkoe29e fg-paragraph text-center text-sm-left   fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-transform: uppercase\"><strong>What does a CT scan involve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the day of your scan you might have to drink some liquid that contains contrast (visible on the scan).  You might need a cannula (small plastic tube) placed into a vein to enable the radiographer to give you intravenous contrast.  The scan itself is painless and takes place in a doughnut-shaped machine.  The machine is fairly open, but people with severe claustrophobia may have problems with the procedure and should discuss this with their specialist before the scan.  To enable the machine to take images, you lie on your back on a table that moves in and out of the scanner.  The radiographer will adjust your position to focus on the desired area.  During the scanning process, try to relax and lie still so that the CT scanner can take accurate images.  The whole scanning process will take between 15 minutes and one hour, depending on the different angles and number of pictures needed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style>.ffb-id-2tf2geid{ \npadding-top: 30px;\npadding-bottom: 30px;\n\n}\n@media (min-width:768px) { \n.ffb-id-2tf2geid{ \npadding-top: 40px;\npadding-bottom: 40px;\n\n}\n}@media (min-width:1200px) { \n.ffb-id-2tf2geid{ \npadding-top: 80px;\npadding-bottom: 80px;\n\n}\n}.ffb-id-2tf2geie{ \npadding-top: 0px;\npadding-bottom: 0px;\n\n}\n@media (min-width:768px) { \n.ffb-id-2tf2geie{ \npadding-top: 100px;\npadding-bottom: 100px;\n\n}\n}.ffb-id-2tf2geie{ \ntext-transform: none !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:before,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:after,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:hover,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:focus,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:before,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:after,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:hover,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:focus{ \ntext-transform: none !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie{ \nfont-weight: 400 !important;\ntext-align: left !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie ,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:before,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:after,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:hover,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie:focus,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:before,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:after,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:hover,\n.ffb-id-2tf2geie *:focus{ \nfont-weight: 400 !important;\ntext-align: left !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb ,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:before,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:after,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:before,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:after{ \ncolor: #ffffff !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb{ \ntext-transform: uppercase !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:before,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:after,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:hover,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:focus,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:before,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:after,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:hover,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:focus{ \ntext-transform: uppercase !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb{ \nline-height: 1 !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb ,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:before,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:after,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:hover,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb:focus,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:before,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:after,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:hover,\n.ffb-id-2ts298qb *:focus{ \nline-height: 1 !important;\n}\n.ffb-id-32jt6jcn{ padding-top: 40px;padding-bottom: 40px;}@media (min-width:768px) { .ffb-id-32jt6jcn{ padding-left: 40px;}}@media (min-width:1200px) { .ffb-id-32jt6jcn{ padding-top: 80px;padding-bottom: 80px;padding-left: 80px;}}.ffb-id-32jt6jcq .ffb-h2-1 ,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq .ffb-h2-1:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq .ffb-h2-1:after,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq .ffb-h2-1 *,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq .ffb-h2-1 *:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq .ffb-h2-1 *:after{ color: #24949e !important;}.ffb-id-32jt6jcq{ margin-bottom: 0px;padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px;}@media (min-width:992px) { .ffb-id-32jt6jcq{ padding-top: 0px;}}.ffb-id-32jt6jcq{ text-transform: uppercase !important;}.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:after,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:hover,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:focus,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:after,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:hover,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:focus{ text-transform: uppercase !important;}.ffb-id-32jt6jcq{ line-height: 1 !important;text-align: left !important;}.ffb-id-32jt6jcq ,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:after,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:hover,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:focus,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:after,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:hover,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:focus{ line-height: 1 !important;text-align: left !important;}@media (min-width:768px) { .ffb-id-32jt6jcq{ text-align: left !important;}}@media (min-width:768px) { .ffb-id-32jt6jcq ,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:after,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:hover,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq:focus,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:before,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:after,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:hover,.ffb-id-32jt6jcq *:focus{ text-align: left !important;}}.ffb-id-32jt6jcm{ padding-top: 100px;padding-bottom: 100px;}@media (min-width:768px) { .ffb-id-32jt6jcm{ padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;}}<\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-3dka3o07 fg-section fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"fg-container container fg-container-large fg-container-lvl--1 \"><div class=\"fg-row row    \" ><div class=\"ffb-id-3dka3o08 fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-12 fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"ffb-id-3dkea2rv ffg-empty-space fg-text-dark\"><\/div><div class=\"ffb-id-3d5rovod fg-paragraph ff-richtext text-center text-sm-left   fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-transform: uppercase\"><strong>CT scan aftercare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once your CT scan is complete, you will be able to go home and return to normal activities immediately.
